What is the typical price of BYDUREON (exenatide extended-release)?
BYDUREON pricing varies a lot by pharmacy, insurance coverage, and the exact product form (BYDUREON single-dose pen vs. BYDUREON BCise, depending on what’s being dispensed). The most practical way to check a current cash price is to look up the specific NDC and location at the pharmacy, since list price and real-world price can differ substantially.
How can you check the cash price quickly?
If you’re looking for a ballpark without using insurance, start by:
1) Checking the current price at your pharmacy (ask for the cash price before copay).
2) Confirming which exact product is being dispensed (BYDUREON vs. BCise).
3) Comparing against online pharmacy price listings for the same dose and form.
Does insurance make BYDUREON cheaper?
Often yes. Many insurers cover GLP-1 / incretin injectables with a copay or coinsurance, but BYDUREON can require prior authorization or have step-therapy rules. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan’s formulary tier.

What I need to give you a more exact number
If you tell me:
- your country (US only, or elsewhere),
- your dose/form (BYDUREON pen vs. BYDUREON BCise),
- and whether you want cash price or with insurance,
I can help narrow down what to expect and what to ask the pharmacy for.
